Parameters
Every fixture grouped by type, with a bar per DMX parameter that you drag, type into, or drill down to set per fixture.
The Parameters panel lists every fixture in your project, grouped by fixture type, and lets you adjust their parameter values. Each parameter is a DMX channel attribute that the fixture's mode defines, such as dimmer, color, or position.

Groups
Fixtures appear under a header with their type name and the number of fixtures of that type. Click the chevron next to a group to expand or collapse its parameters. Groups start collapsed, and the project remembers which ones you expanded.
An expanded group shows one row per parameter the fixture mode exposes. Drag the bar on a row to set the value for every fixture in the group. When fixtures in the group disagree on a value, the row shows "Mixed".
Parameter rows
Each parameter row has a draggable bar. Drag horizontally to change the value, or click to type a number. When the parameter has named ranges, such as gobo positions or strobe modes, pick one from the dropdown.
The bar color shows the parameter's GDTF FeatureGroup, such as intensity, color, position, beam, or control.
Per-fixture drill-down
Each parameter row has a chevron at its right edge. Click it to show one sub-row per fixture in the group. Each sub-row has the fixture name, its starting DMX address, and a bar of its own. Drag a sub-row's bar to set that fixture's value alone. When the fixtures' values differ, the group-level bar above flips to "Mixed".
The project also remembers which rows you drilled into.
Pan and tilt in a position
While a position drives a head's pan or tilt, the hand-set value on that row does nothing. The row then shows the position's angle in degrees. A badge names its group and position, or reads 2 positions when the fixtures follow different ones. If you drag or type there, you edit the position itself. The lights move at once, and the next recall of that position brings the new angle. A typed value or a whole drag is one undo step.
A row where only some of the fixtures follow a position is disabled and reads Some in positions. Drill down to edit each fixture on its own row. You cannot bind these rows in Mapping Mode.
A head with endless pan or tilt rotation has a rotation row as well. While a position drives that axis, the position holds the rotation at its stop setting, so the row is disabled and shows the position's badge. When you release the group, the hold lasts until the head fades back. Then the row's own setting takes over again. A rotation row held on only some of its fixtures also reads Some in positions.
Empty state
When the project has no fixtures with parameters, the panel shows "No fixtures with parameters". Add fixtures in the Fixtures panel and choose a mode that defines parameters.
